Relative projects paths in the workspace
In the Hitachi Embedded Workshop when you add a project to the workspace you can choose to add the project
to the workspace using a relative path. This allows you to position a project above the workspace directory and
it will still be relocated correctly if you relocate the HEW workspace. The project is always relative to the
workspace so if the project is one directory above the workspace before it is moved the HEW will try to find the
project in the same relative location after the relocation procedure. This is especially useful if you are using a
project shared between more than one workspace.
In older versions of the HEW this project would not have been relocated and would have still tried to access the
original project path. The older version of the HEW could only relocate the projects, which were in a
subdirectory of the workspace directory. This is still the standard behavior for the Hitachi Embedded Workshop.
To change a projects relative path flag:
1.
Select the project in the workspace window.
2.
Right click and then select properties.
3.
Click the “Project relative file path” checkbox to switch on or off the relative file path feature. (figure
2.25)
4.
Click “OK”.
